Two Thai youngsters improvise a human chain to rescue an exhausted puppy from a Bangkok canal. More pictures after the jump:

Humanity.
If you can help then do it.
Shame on us who complain about not having the newest gadget.
And shame on us who don’t spend on hour of our lives helping someone in need.

Those children were raised right, and their parents should be very proud of them. It’s things like this that really make my day.

sadly animals live in a “throw away” society, the pup is lucky to have got out of the canal, but I wonder if anyone is caring for it now?
Kenneth G
Whoa Mr Nelson.. Get over yourself.. What were the boys supposed to do ? Leave it to drown - “because thats more humane” ?? It’s in THAILAND - not YOUR “throw away-society”.. Man - if you wanne leave a comment, please let it be at least close to the subject - and at least with a minimal of thought behind it..
Ben
I bet they ate good that night!
Joe
Are you kidding me Kenneth? What Nelson said was perfect, down to the T. Thailand, U.S.A, Ethiopia for that matter. Everywhere today is a throw away society, who are you trying to kid?
So before you try to think you know what you’re talking about, maybe it’s you who should put thought into what you say.
Joe
I agree with Nelson. Kenneth, you should think before replying. Did Nelson ever imply that the kids should have left it?

in asia people normally don’t care very much for animals, even less than in our western world, so it was a really special moment…

I wonder if anyone here is aware of the rampant rabies problem in Thailand. There are hundreds of HUMAN deaths every year there, and there are thousands of stray dogs in the streets-95% of them rabid. They die in the streets and no one cleans them up, and you think oh poor puppy. It’s not America, and it was probably pretty stupid of those kids to touch the dog unless it belonged to them. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals, but read any travel brochure on Thailand and one of the first things you read is NEVER touch the animals there.

Bangkok oriental city and the city don’t know what the city is getting…hehe.
I mean….awwwww
Easy does it
Kenneth and Joe. Its great that a picture that was supposed to inspire us has now sparked a debate betweeen two pesimistic “know it alls”. Why don’t you two just write eachother back and forth and save us all your negative outlooks. Geeze talk about debbie downers.

Why is there always some kind of trivial argument in comment spots? These kids did something great for a drowning puppy. Can’t we just appreciate that?
Laura
Let’s all make drama about a cute and touching series of images! Woooo!

Maybe we should all just focus on the fact that two little boys who apparently had nothing more than each other and a lunch bag were inventive enough to reach the puppy and pull him out of the water instead of judging todays society.
Kids like this make it clear that things aren’t as bad as everyone would have it appear.
Froot
While what Joe said is somewhat true, the United States is the absolute worst “throw away society”
Places like Thailand still have rural areas where villagers make the most of everything they have. I bet even the big cities there are better than places in the U.S.
Even so, the entire world is crap now because of the human race

@ben I thought the same thing right when I saw the word thailand…
bob
i think it’s shocking the way some people seem to think they know what happened to that pup right after these pictures were taken. those kids did a great thing and you can’t tarnish their good deed by saying what doesn’t exist in these photographs
sean
yeah! fight with each other and spread negative energy!
at least the meaning of the photographs came across clearly.
i like the boy-puppy handshake.
Jenna
I love seeing posts like these.. It is an amazing show of how there is still SOME good out there.. And of course its children.. You are all examples of what I am talking about.. Can’t you just look at the pictures and not read too much into it.. It’s cute..
XxX
damn… all they did was save a puppy, for all we know they probably took it home or maybe they tortured it. you dont know. why is it that anytime someone post a picture up of something of someone doing a nice thing, someone always hates on it.
Cheryl
Wow! It is a nice photo….not worthy of such idiotic comments though.
A few thoughts deeper may have caused you to think…
1. Who said the puppy was drowning??
2. Why didn’t the photographer put the camara down and save the puppy…if it was drowning??
Robert
The page doesn’t show the next few pictures in the series, where the kids skin and roast the doggie over a nice fire. Mmmmm!
avaloon
you don’t have to speculate about what occurred after they saved the dog. that is not what this was intended to do. it’s quite simple. the important thing is that two boys had the compassion and resolve to save a dog from –whether it was in any danger at all or not– what they thought was drowning.
these pictures are the kind of thing that really inspire me. and then, as i have had the misfortune to come to expect, someone makes a snide holier-than-thou comment about how the kids didn’t employ proper technique to save the dog or something to that obnoxious effect, acting as the catalyst for dozens of comments completely unrelated to the intents of the post(unfortunately just like this one).

Why don’t we agree to disagree?
There is no right nor wrong.
There is just “is.”
Don’t make a big Ordeal outta something small like these pictures…
Fight about War or Politics…
But I mean what do I know I’m a 15 year old Girl who looks at things from every angle….
I’m not right.
I’m not wrong, either.
So stop clucking like angry hens, and live life and smell the flowers in the morning and at night!
Love, Peace, And a lot of meat!

Christ, people always need to read negativity into everything, even cute, inspiring pictures and acts of human decency. Get over yourselves, guys.
This is heartwarming. Like someone said, these kids were raised right. It’s encouraging to see that there is still kindness in the world.
Brian
Yes there is a right and wrong, though I’m speaking generally and not about this picture or the arguments about it.
Buzz words are fun. Every 15 year old thinks they hold they hold some grandiose special knowledge of the world involving plurality. You don’t.
Now go smell flowers, shift paradigms, and revolutionize outside the box.

ah well….pictures of good deeds ..how many people on earth have done the same thing ..an artistic mind would really appreciate it but critic minds does negative thoughts.. lesson for the picture..do unto others what others want you to do
